This paper presents a system that allows users to interact with artwork pictures through their gaze, by means of an eye tracker. In particular, visitors of an exhibition can select artworks, perform image scrolling, change the size of displayed pictures, define sensitive areas (that, when watched, display associated descriptive information), collect user gaze data, show dynamic gaze replays and generate static images showing a "summary" of what the visitor watched. The system was continuously used in an exhibition at the Visconti Castle of Pavia (Italy) from 14th June to 29th November 2015. The gathered data show that, in spite of some calibration problems, the system can be considered reliable and provides the user with an overall "pleasant" interaction experience.

Abstract
This paper presents a system that allows users to interact with artwork pictures through their gaze, by means of an eye tracker. In particular, visitors of an exhibition can select artworks, perform image scrolling, change the size of displayed pictures, define sensitive areas (that, when watched, display associated descriptive information), collect user gaze data, show dynamic gaze replays and generate static images showing a "summary" of what the visitor watched. The system was continuously used in an exhibition at the Visconti Castle of Pavia (Italy) from 14th June to 29th November 2015. The gathered data show that, in spite of some calibration problems, the system can be considered reliable and provides the user with an overall "pleasant" interaction experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
